Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA TEGL WIG 2017
The Workforce Information Grants (WIG) Allotments for Program Year (PY) 2017 are mandatory federal grant funds administered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA). The purpose of these grants is to support state workforce agencies in producing, improving, and sharing workforce and labor market information (LMI) that people and organizations rely on to make employment, training, and economic decisions. Rather than being a competitive grant program, WIG funding is distributed by formula to eligible jurisdictions, with the intent of ensuring every state and certain territories maintain a baseline capacity to develop and disseminate high-quality labor market data and related workforce information products.
The core focus of PY 2017 WIG funding is the development and dissemination of essential state and local workforce and labor market information for a broad set of users. Key customer groups include job seekers who need credible information about occupations, wages, hiring trends, and career pathways; businesses and employers who need data to understand labor availability, pay norms, skill shortages, and local talent pipelines; and workforce and labor market intermediaries such as employment counselors, school and career counselors, and case managers at American Job Centers who support individuals in finding jobs, choosing training, or making career decisions. The grants also serve program and service planners at educational institutions and community-based organizations who use LMI to design training aligned with employer demand, as well as policymakers and workforce development boards at the state and local levels who use these data to guide strategy, investments, and performance monitoring. Other intended users include partners like economic development organizations and human resource professionals, along with researchers, media outlets, commercial data providers, and recipients of other workforce development grants who may need standardized labor market baselines for planning, reporting, or evaluation.
This PY 2017 opportunity is identified as "Workforce Information Grants (WIG) Allotments (PY) 2017" and is associated with the funding opportunity number "ETA TEGL WIG 2017." The governing reference noted in the announcement is Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 27-16, specifically Attachment J, which provides the state-by-state distribution of the PY 2017 WIG formula amounts and shows how those figures compare to PY 2016. In practical terms, that attachment functions as the allocation table, letting states and stakeholders see each jurisdiction's formula share and year-to-year changes.
Eligibility is geared toward state workforce agencies, and the coverage explicitly includes all states as well as the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It also includes outlying areas, specifically Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. The listing indicates an expectation of 54 awards, consistent with making formula-based allotments across the states and included territories. The program is categorized under Employment, Labor and Training and is associated with CFDA number 17.207. The opportunity is labeled as mandatory, uses a grant as the funding instrument, and was created on 2017-06-12 with an original closing date of 2017-07-14. No award ceiling is provided in the source text, which fits the structure of a formula allotment where each recipient's award amount is set by the allocation methodology rather than a proposed budget competing for a maximum.
Overall, PY 2017 WIG allotments are best understood as foundational infrastructure funding for labor market information at the state and local level. The program is designed to keep LMI systems functioning and improving so that job seekers, employers, practitioners, educators, planners, and policymakers can rely on timely, consistent data to guide decisions about hiring, training, career transitions, and workforce development strategy.Apply for ETA TEGL WIG 2017
